Safety Measures
Before attempting to use the metal detector, carry out the following basic checks to ensure that it is in
a safe condition and ready to be used:
■
Check that the electrical power and air supply, if being used, are connected correctly and are
working normally.
■ Check that the conveyor is clean and clear of any products or other items.
■
Check that there are no metal or other items resting on top of the metal detector, particularly
around the search head.
■ Check that all inspection hatches, the reject bin door and the Electrical Services Box are closed
and locked.
■ Check the area in front of metal detector to ensure that it is clean and clear of any potential trip or
slip hazards.
■ Check the control panel to ensure the metal detector is working correctly and no warning or error
messages are being displayed.
In addition, the following points should be observed for safe operation of the system:
■
Installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the metal detector should only be
carried out by trained personnel, following the applicable safety measures.
■ Servicing and repair of the metal detector must be carried out by qualified Loma or approved
customer personnel to avoid damaging the machine, which could result in the introduction of a
safety hazard and the loss of warranty cover.
■
Care should be taken when carrying out tasks in areas of the metal detector that are potentially
hazardous; as identified with an appropriate safety label
.
■ Removal of any guards, covers and other protective devices must only be carried out by
authorized or qualified personnel after first switching off and removing any power from the metal
detector.
■
Note that interlocking devices are fitted to all inspection covers to automatically stop the conveyor
when a cover is opened.
■ For the protection of operating personnel, safety switches are installed in easily accessible places
on the metal detector, all of which trigger an EMERGENCY STOP.
■ All safety devices must be functional at all times! Damaged protective devices or covers must be
repaired or replaced immediately! When safety components are replaced, the protective devices
are to be properly attached and tested by the operator.
If you require spares or service / repair of your machine, please send an email to

Loma metal detectors ensure product safety, equipment protection and regulatory compliance by
automatically removing contaminated products from the production line, stopping the line, alerting the
operator or a combination of these.
